I'm generally in favor of blaming the consumer. Markets respond to pressures. If there were no market for dogs (especially pure-bred dogs), we wouldn't see so many breeders out there. I'm not giving the breeders any sort of free pass, but I

Yes, I'm aware of the natural proclivity. That's part of what leads to to racism and stereotyping. We don't shrug those off as just being natural.

I didn't say they were universally accepted groups. Those people who have pet rats likely do not want rats being experimented on. And those people who eat dogs probably don't keep them as beloved pets.

Really? Because I always thought the ever increasing cost of cigarettes had some small role in it as well. http://www.treatobacco.net/en/page_120.php

Very happy to see this on HN. I have never understood why people are willing to purchase dogs. Between the conditions of large-scale breeders and the amount of animals waiting in shelters, it's just absurd.

I for one find this kind of cognitive dissonance extremely upsetting and a bit perplexing. People are easily able to compartmentalize their feelings about various animals. This leads to neat little groups - food, pet, science experiment. It

No that's not the entire problem. The author rightfully points out the issue with buying from large scale breeders - especially when so many adoptable pets are living in shelters.

Yes. And you should add it.

Looking pretty good. A few things that I noticed: - "Read More" and "Seem n more viewpoint(s)" go to the topic page when I expected them to just load some additional information. - "Read More" link is still present on individual topic page

Facts are more than just statistics. There were numerous statements about (what seems to be) gross, gross overcharging on everything from pens to surgical gowns to diagnostic equipment. There were the exorbitant salaries and let's not forge

Aaron Swartz was charged with fraud and unathorized. Not breaking TOS. The idea that breaking TOS could constitute a crime has been shot down by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. http://thefire.org/article/14389.html

Violating terms of service is not a felony. In fact, it's not even a crime; it's a civil matter.

As far as I know (which isn't too much), there's nothing wrong with that. But since monkeyfacebag mentioned the psychology of code writing, there definitely seem to be algorithms that lend themselves to recursion. At the very least, some al

While there's some truth to that, you also don't achieve success by being penny wise and pound foolish, which that kind of thinking often leads to.

Damn, I'd really love to be able to try this out on my Galaxy Tab. I wonder if we'll see a build for those anytime soon.

This is absolutely the biggest issue for me. Another commentor pointed out this can't be the issue because drivers do the same thing. The actually problem isn't that cyclists break laws. It's that they break them doing incredibly stupid an

I don't think there's necessarily an implication of the validity of "gateway drugs" there. The same idea crossed my mind, but only if this sort of treatment is not accompanied by anything else. It's generally agreed that people abuse alcoho

Nice to see some fellow Arizonans. I agree with the great cost of living to salary ratio, but unfortunately I've ended up in an industry where I really don't want to be. And I'm having a tough time finding something new here.

What's truly scary about this is the fact that it's attracting serious bidders.

Really great design and a nice face lift to a classic game. My only complaint is no local high score board - or at least tracking of the top score.
